BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to describe comorbidities, healthcare costs, and resource utilization among patients with chronic non-infectious uveitis initiating corticosteroid, immunosuppressants, or biologics.In this retrospective cohort study, patients with a non-infectious uveitis diagnosis and continuous insurance coverage during a 6-month baseline were selected from a privately...
BACKGROUND Childhood eczema is very common and can have substantial impact on quality of life. One of the main treatments is topical corticosteroids, but these are often underused by parents and carers for reasons that include concerns about safety. OBJECTIVES To explore understandings and concerns about topical corticosteroids among parents and carers of children with eczema who had posted m...
Corticosteroids have been proved to be ineffective for Guillain-Barré syndrome, but the mechanism remains unknown. In a rabbit model of axonal Guillain-Barré syndrome, treatment with corticosteroids significantly reduced macrophage infiltration in the spinal ventral roots and the survival rate as well as clinical improvement. On 30(th) day after onset, there was significantly higher frequency o...
The incidence and prevalence of Crohn's disease are increasing, particularly in the Western world and Asia. Corticosteroids have been used for decades to treat active Crohn's disease and remain the mainstay in the management of moderate-to-severe relapses in Crohn's disease. The use of corticosteroids, despite their efficacy, may be associated with several drawbacks. This review article provide...
Inhaled corticosteroids play an important role in the management of obstructive airway disease, by suppressing airway inflammation that is central to the pathophysiology of these conditions. In asthma there is strong clinical evidence supporting the use of inhaled corticosteroids in mild, moderate, and severe persistent asthma to improve lung function, reduce exacerbations, and prevent death. I...
BACKGROUND Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a chronic and progressive disease that affects an estimated 10% of the world's population over the age of 40 years. Worldwide, COPD ranks in the top ten for causes of disability and death. Given the significant impact of this disease, it is important to note that acute exacerbations of COPD (AECOPD) are by far the most costly and devast...
The treatment of croup has changed considerably over the last 25 years with the liberalisation of the use of systemic corticosteroids for mild to moderate croup. The administration of corticosteroids in croup has reduced the severity of the condition, dramatically reduced the need for endotracheal intubation, shortened the duration of intubation, reduced the length of hospital stay, reduced the...

OBJECTIVE To gather the data to provide a rationale for using replacement therapy with hydrocortisone in septic shock patients. DATA SOURCES The Medline and the Cochrane Library databases. STUDY SELECTION Studies in animals and in humans were considered when significant data were available about the mechanisms of action of corticosteroids or about their use in severe sepsis. DATA SUMMARY ...
Since their introduction, topical corticosteroids have become indispensable in the treatment of various dermatoses. Hydrocortisone was the first compound. Modifications in the basic structure generated in vivo activity and thus different topically active compounds were discovered. Apart from the Stoughton vasoconstrictor assay, various other methods are used for potency assessment of topical co...
